I use Legere, American Cut, 2.25, for Tenor, C-Melody* Alto and Soprano SaxophonesI ve tried to use 2.50, and even so, they were just a little to hard, believe it or not.
* My C Melody Mouthpiece was hand made, to have a wider than C-Melody, table, which accepts, a Bb Tenor Reed.
I place the 2.25, a tiny bit higher than even, with the tip rail. This yields the exact stiffness I need to play a three hour big band gig, or play a whole recital on All four instruments. Allen Keith Rippe
Excellent produit, un peu cher cependant!
I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered these reeds but I can honestly say that I’m converted to plastic reeds. And the fact that they are Canadian is just the icing on the cake! I will never go back to wood again!!
I really like the American cut 3.5 reeds for jazz on my soprano, alto, or tenor sax. For classical alto, I prefer the French cut 3.5. I started using these reeds while playing in the pit for a musical production, when instrument changes had to be quick. Now, they are all I play on!
Easy switch from cane. Plays smooth with a slightly softer tone. Requires slightly more jaw pressure but not bad at all.
